    from my Daughter.
    this should work pretty good as a 'Range' pistol cleaning kit.

    Any idea what the two items are, that I have pulled out of the kit, shown on the edge of the carry rug ? The black/blue piece is threaded on the end not shown, to fit the handle or the rods...and it appears to be cracked on one side. The other piece that looks like a short stripper clip, does have a mirror finish on one side...maybe for bore inpection ?

    Just so happen to have these out to stop at the range after visiting. The 22/45 is the wife's with a Bushnell TRS-25 and I get the Mark III with a Simmons 2-6 Prohunter.

    I have no idea how to rotate the pic, wonder how you do that,,,,,,,

    Must be a Swiss rifle specific tool. Looks like it needs a tapered collar to slip over more pointed end so it could clamp onto something.

    The piece that is split, with a tapered end, could it be a chamber jag, maybe? slip a patch in the slit to clean out the chamber?

    I was kinda thinking it could be used as a chamber cleaning tool, just put a large patch in the slot and use it like a Jag for the chamber...judging by the size of this tool, it'd probably only work for 50BMG...or maybe the cylinder of my 500 S&W Mag

    Whether it is correct or not, way back when I was much younger and had to have a tacticool gun because it was "tacticool" my FNC came with that same peice and was shown clipped into the flash suppressor with the polished side facing the butt. The scope's cross hairs could then be set up square to the bore with out using a level.

    I don't have a picture of the gift the Mrs. gave me, as I have to wait for delivery. However, one of the incredible members here was kind enough to gift me with:

    LOL! I admit I live a bit vicariously through this website. I suggested this because I wanted to see what cool stuff others got. Also, you didn't have to take me up on my suggestion

    I got some really sweet NOS components to work with.


    Several boxes of 35 cal gas checks


    A few boxes for .30 cal too


    Couple molds for my blackhawk


    …And around here this stuff is highly coveted and difficult to come by

    Life's biggest tragedy is we get old too soon, and wise too late.

    .222 Rem Mag.
    I have a Contender barrel I am going to send out and have rechambered. It is .222 Rem right now, but, the head space is way off. Since .204 Ruger brass resizes very easily, that is the route I am taking.

    Collector? Maybe, I'll definitely set them on a shelf in the reloading room. ....once I load all the powder in them that is.

    Dean: I have a identical can of HS-5, except, mine is almost empty. Use to be my go to powder for Hornady 115 JHP's in my 9mm Browning HP. This was long before I discovered boolets.
